RAZOR-HONE HOLDER.

Application filed November 2. 1922. Serial No. 598,610.

T 0 @ZZ 'who-m t 'may concern.'

Be it known that I, FRANK J. MrnGoN, a l* citizen of the United States,residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco, State ofCalifornia, have invented a new and useful Fazor-Hone Holder, of whichthe following is a specification, in such full and clear terms as willenable those skilled in the art to construct and use the same.

rllhis invention relates to a razor hone holder, and its object is toproduce a holder which is capable of being turned to secure the hone inany desired convenient angle for use by the person sharpening the blade.

It. will be understood by those skilled in the art that persons honing arazor are very particular about the manner of holding a. hone7 and theparticular slope the hone may have when the blade is being sharpened.

lVith the present invention the hone holder can be tipped with respectto the base in any direction. and with the shift of the baseparticularly gives the operator any position he may fancy.

A further object of the invention is to produce a hone holder which willbe very simple to construct and compact in form.

Other objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds.

in embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings inwhich the same reference numeral is applied to the same portionthroughout, but l am aware that there may be modifications thereof.

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the hone holder with the hone insubstantially horizontal position,

Fig. 2 is aview of the hone holder looking at right angles to Fig. 1,

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the .lione holder with the hone removedtherefrom, and

Fig. l is a side elevation of the base with the holder removedtherefrom. Y

The numeral 1 indicates a solid metal base and 2 a felt or cloth bottomwhich is suitably secured to the base to prevent the metal base frommarring the finish of a table upon which the hone holder may be placed.

At its center the hone holder has a standard 3, the upper end of whichis Spherical.

The hone` holder proper consists of a Hat plate 5, which has slots cuttherethrough to pass depending ears 6 and 7 of the hone holding plates Sand 9. These plates rest loosely in grooves of a soft rubber pad 1() andthere are four of the plates, two at each end of the rubber pad.

Two right and left-handed threaded screws 10 and 11 pass through thedepending` ears 6 and 7 of the plates 8 and 9, and said screws also passthrough depending slotted ears 12 and 13 of the plate 5. When the hone15 is placed on the top of the rubber pad, plates 8 and 9 are clampedagainst the hone; the only thing that holds the hone in place is thepressure the clamps 8 and 9 exert upon it and exert upon the rubber pad,whereby a considerable yielding movement of the hone is permitted.

On the under-side of the plate 5 there are two` quarter-spherical plates16 and 17. These `plates each have ears 18 and 19 through which bolts20, 21 pass, wing-nuts 22 being` used to tighten the plates against thespherical plates on the top of the standard..

In use the hone may be turned down or pulled to one side in anyconvenient direction by simply loosening; the screw 20, 21 and turningit to the desired angle, whereupon the screws 20, 21 are again tightenedand the hone is ready for use in the desired position. It will be seenthat while the clamps hold the hone securely that the resiliency of therubber pad 10 allows the hone a certain amount of movement which theexpert finds necessary for the proper sharp-- ening` of a razor.

llVhat I claim is as follows, but various modifications mav be made inthe construe tion shown in the drawings and above particularly describedform, within the purview of my invention:

1. A razor hone holder, comprising a flat base. a standard having aspherical head carried by the base, resiliently supported hone-holdingclamps, a pair of partly spherical members having means to tighten themon said head in any given angle of adjustment and a plate for looselyconnecting the latter members' to the clamps.

2. A razor hone holder, comprising a base, a standard having a sphericalhead` carried thereby, two nairs of hone holding hone in any desiredangle of adjustment clamps, a grooved rubber pad to act as a Withrespect to the base.

support for said clamps, a pair of partly In testimony whereof I` havehereunto '10 spherical clamps adapted to embrace the set my hand this25th day of October, A. D. spherical head on the standard and means1922. 7

to tighten said partly spherical members against the spherical head tosecure the FRANK. J. MIRGON.
